A small project I've been doing for years, veeery slowly. I really like Major Arcana tarot card parodies and I wanted to try my hand at it with Skylanders, and though I take a loong time to finish each, I have a few already done to show. Hope you like them!

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But beware of the consequences if you go off the beaten path.

Everyone is the star of their own story, but do not be afraid to lead. Both your comrades and you have a lot to learn about yourselves.

I made a list back when I started and I adjusted it around as new characters showed up(though I might skip one or another to redraw if Academy ends up creating a cooler concept for an arcana). Though I'll give one spoiler, yes, The Lovers is Bashwing

Another piece of trivia - the runes actually correspond to numbers and letters where they fit. I found an incomplete chart of the Skylanders Universe code translations that miiight cover every single one.

Well, I was going to wait until next week to post The Emperor, but someone requested a tarot card with Cynder! Unfortunately, she didn't fit any as much as some other Skylanders, and unless Season 2 introduces new lore to her it'll stay that way. But, just for that person, I spared some time for a traditional card.

20XX - The Salt

Sometimes, it's ok to be mad at inconsequential things, or hold onto your beliefs in hard times. But don't let negativity and bitterness take over your life; there's so much to enjoy that isn't gained by stepping on someone else's fun.

Boy the normal tarot card frame is old... I redrew it with actual perspective here but for the sake of consistency every digital card has to keep the old one.
You can tell the parts where I had an accident with the watercolor pencils and had to correct them on Photoshop. Never paint with those in a hot room, kids, especially if you frequently lean your hand on the paper.

disclaimer - this fanart is unrelated to Megaman or the game called 20XX.

With less than a day until the new season, time for the last one I did until now - too focused on other projects and forgot to color in the buffer, whoops.

This one I'm slightly more proud of than most because it's the first Academy themed one - feel free to share it to the writers of the show and whatnot if you guys feel like they'd appreciate it. Don't have a twitter myself :I

"You've been there, done that; now it's the time to teach others who have yet to see the consequences of their actions. If you have learned to control yourself, it is no unknown task to make sure others also stay on the right path."

The Hierophant is still in progress because of work and generally not quite connecting with the picture, but in the meanwhile, I decided to do a faster piece for Halloween. A mild spook warning however, as it's based on the newest season of Academy : O

You are accumulating mysterious knowledge with shallow motivations and ignoring the calls from inside yourself. Do not give in to the demands of others, sometimes peace is achieved through introspection into your own nothingness.

You wish that flavor text was me being edgy, I based it off of several tarot definitions I found while digging around.

Bleeding black what-seems-to-be blood from the eyes...
Were you alright when you drew this?

Oh don't worry I was, black goop was just the first thing I thought of for that episode theme. It's not supposed to be harmful or representing pain, more like eldritch evil matter or something, which is what shallow use of occult knowledge usually means.
